I can relate; I often try to dissuade people from using knives by crying. I also try to warn people not to catch the president on fire by thinking too hard. It's tough work.

that's.... kind of intense...

That sucks it's really rough dealing with someone who has a mental issue and is off their meds. It can be emotionally taxing good luck to you.

It sounds like she has OCD. I had similar symptoms before I started my medication. F your mom's life, mostly, but that can't be easy for you to deal with.

Anyone else got scared for a moment when they read the beginning of the first line?

Sounds like your mom has some real issues may be a mental hospital would be a good place to go

No knives required. Grab a sledgehammer and go Gallagher all over her kitchen.

Sorry that had to happen Op, and did anyone else miss the second "have" in this FML?

If she has a mental illness, its not her fault, she can't control it. Just make sure she takes her meds and don't be mad at her for her behavior.

use a butter knife next time. much harder to cut yourself
